Savannah, Georgia POV Photography. Tybee Island and Wormsloe.
This week we are traveling to Savannah! Savannah, a coastal Georgia city, is separated from South Carolina by the Savannah River. It’s known for manicured parks, horse-drawn carriages and antebellum architecture. Its historic district is filled with cobblestoned squares and parks such as Forsyth Park shaded by oak trees covered with Spanish moss. At the center of this picturesque district is the landmark, Gothic-Revival Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. The city itself will be next week! This week I ventured off to Tybee Island and Wormsloe Historic District. I woke up at 4AM and headed to Cockspur Island. Most of the island is within the boundaries of Fort Pulaski National Monument.
Then I drove down to Tybee Island is a barrier island and small city near Savannah, Georgia. It’s known for its wide, sandy beaches, including South Beach, with a pier and pavilion. In the island’s north, Fort Screven has 19th-century concrete gun batteries and the Tybee Island Light Station and Museum. The still-functioning 18th-century lighthouse has been rebuilt many times. The museum, in Battery Garland, focuses on local history. Lastly, I visited The Wormsloe Historic Site, informally known as Wormsloe Plantation, is a state historic site near Savannah. It is famous for its beautiful Oak Tree Avenue, with the famous Spanish Moss hanging off of it.
